My husband got a call from a pretty high-level person, asking for an appointment to see him. This person wanted to offer him a teaching job. We knew they had just hired someone a few months ago, so my husband asked, "Don't you have someone teaching now?" She replied that they did, so he asked what the problem was. She informed him that the current teacher wasn't working out, as he wasn't very good. We knew this person; he was a very nice guy, but not a really good teacher. So, my husband asked why they hired him. The lady responded that they had heard he was good. My husband, dumbfounded that anyone would have rated him as a good teacher, asked where she had heard that. She replied that the fella had told her himself, that he was good. Moral of the story is to ask someone outside the box for references! Judy http://icehorses.net http://clickryder.com
